The matrix proteins include the high- sulfur and high-glycine-tyrosine keratins (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |Keratin B2| |keratin filament| |keratinization| |keratinocyte differentiation| |epidermal cell differentiation| |skin development| |epidermis development| |epithelial cell differentiation| |epithelium development| |tissue development| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
